Keep federal regulations in mind when placing your new mailbox. Whether you're replacing an existing mailbox or installing for the first time, make sure it will be easily accessible for your mail carrier.
Here are the guidelines for placing a mailbox,: • Position your mailbox 41 to 45 inches from the road surface to the bottom of the mailbox or point of mail entry. • Place your mailbox 6 to 8 inches back from the curb. If you do not have a raised curb, contact your local postmaster for guidance. • Put your house or apartment number on the mailbox. • If your mailbox is on a different street from your house or apartment, put your full street address on the box. • If you are attaching the box to your house, make sure the postal carrier can reach it easily from your sidewalk, steps, or porch.
